“…CGE RegFin models are available both as comparative-static and recursive-dynamic versions (Törmä et al, 2015). Descriptions of the comparative-static model were presented by Törmä (2008), Rutherford and Törmä (2010), and 2011). The comparative-static version of the model was used in this study.…”

The scope of this research is to make quantitative estimates of the potential economic and employment impacts of renewable energy self-sufficiency. The study aims to make generalizations on a regional, or even national level, and to give directions for future research. This paper analyses direct monetary values and employment impacts in two regions, in a theoretical situation where all energy is produced by renewables from the respective region. Renewable energy, especially utilization of existing but presently unused resources, can play an important role in vitalizing regional economies, especially in rural areas. The money spent on fossil energy could be kept circulating in the regional economy. The amount spent on energy in the research areas was almost €4,860 per capita per year, totalling more than €300m annually. The existing data shows that there is the potential for self-sufficiency, or even surplus production. The results suggest that the regional economic impacts increase considerably if the region is self-sufficient in raw materials, including intermediates. On a larger scale, e.g., nationally, the loss of jobs in the fossil energy industry and the eventual variations within economies potentially based on renewable energy, will affect the overall impacts. Highlights  In rural areas, 100% renewable energy can potentially be produced.  Renewable energy can replace fossil fuels and keep money within the region.  Renewable energy can contribute up to almost €5,000 per capita to regional economies.  Employment, vitality and local business add value to the regional economy.

“…The structure of the regional CGEs applied in CAPRI‐RD (Britz, ) has been developed based on a regionalised CGE for Finland (Törmä, ; Rutherford and Törmä, ). Each EU Member State is represented by one open comparative‐static economy model that comprises sub‐models at the NUTS‐2 level.…”

We extend the Common Agricultural Policy Regionalised Impact Modelling System (CAPRI) with a regional computational general equilibrium (CGE) model to estimate the effects of the Pillar II of the Common Agricultural Policy. Our aim is to assess the modeling approach by comparing the scenario results with observations from the evaluation reports for rural development, supplemented with expert interviews and findings from the literature. For this purpose, an ex‐post scenario is developed for Germany that models the effect of the Pillar II measures in 2006. We observe a moderate impact, namely, an increase in agricultural income (5%) and agricultural land use (0.15%), particularly grassland, and a substitution of arable land with grassland. This effect leads to a total increase in agricultural production, particularly of beef, and to an increase in total greenhouse gas emissions and total nitrogen surplus for Germany. Greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient surpluses per ha, however, are reduced. We observe that farm investment programmes displace private investment. The evaluation reports confirm the moderate impact and our major results, as does the comparison with other literature. However, the conclusions about agri‐environment measures and their impact on income differ. The most important difference between our results and the evaluation reports and majority of the present literature is that we also quantify the joint effect between the whole economy and policy measures, with some contradictory effects.

“…Zalecane są jednak do oceny różnych wariantów polityki, zwłaszcza wtedy, gdy polityka ta wywiera wpływ na dużą część gospodarki [Kiuiła 2000]. Dobre porównanie modeli równowagi ogólnej z modelami równowagi częściowej przedstawia Hertel [1985], a z innymi modelami także [Törmä 2008]. Z kolei T. Żylicz [2004] wyjaśnia, na czym polega przystosowanie modeli równowagi ogólnej typu Walrasa do zastosowania w modelowaniu polityki ochrony środowiska (z uwzględnieniem dóbr publicznych i kosztów społecznych).…”

Autorka jest wdzięczna wielu osobom za pomoc okazaną na różnych etapach powstawania tej pracy. Trudno wymienić wszystkich, jednak szczególne podziękowania należą się profesorowi Hannu Törmä z Ruralia Institute (University of Helsinki) za dostęp do modelu i pomoc w jego adaptacji do warunków polskich. Z kolei dzięki dyrektorowi Ruralia Institute profesorowi Sami Kurki autorka odbyła staż postdoktorski w tym Instytucie.
